Ian Blackford

List all MPs and Register editions

Mae'r dudalen hon yn dangos sut mae cofnod Ian Blackford yn y Gofrestr o Fuddiannau Aelodau wedi newid dros amser. Mae’n dechrau ar yr un mwyaf diweddar ac yn gweithio'n ôl i'r un cynharaf rydyn ni wedi llwyddo i'w ddosrannu.

Cofiwch y gallai newidiadau mewn teipograffi/steilio yn y deunydd gwreiddiol olygu bod rhywbeth wedi cael ei farcio fel ‘cofnod a newidiwyd’ (h.y. wedi'i dynnu a'i ychwanegu) pan nad yw. Mae'n ddrwg gennym am hynny, ond rydyn ni’n gwneud ein gorau gyda'r deunydd gwreiddiol.
